Maieutic Enterprises

Pre Seed Round in 2015
Maieutic is a startup comprised of engineers who are developing a revolutionary die and surface casting technology called a programmable surface. Manufacturers use die extrusions to flatten polymers into flat sheets. However through repetitive use deformations as well as wear tear occur on the die's surface. Manufacturers often use screws to re-adjust the surface and compensate for these solutions. Our patent pending solution is known as the "programmable surface", a surface comprised of an array of pins whose individual heights can be adjusted via lorrentz force. By varying the individual heights of each pin, we can emulate various surface topographies and compensate for surface deformities that arise in the manufacturing process.

Ourobotics

Seed Round in 2015
Ouro_botics started life around four years ago on a kitchen table in Dublin. Founder Jemma Redmond was working at the time on her masters thesis "An Investigation into Osteoblast Adhesion" and printed copies of finger bones (metacarpals, proximal & distal phalanges) which she then seeded with Osteoblasts and noticed growth was affected by structure. Realising that a bioprinter would open up more interesting capabilities. She sold her own businesses and started building her own printers testing out different configurations and methods. Noting that high cost, ease of use, accuracy, upgradability and reliability were features that were lacking in bioprinters on the market. Ouro_botics was formed to build an affordable modular bioprinting platform for students, biohackers and researchers. After months of hard work, they built a 10 micron accuracy bioprinting platform that can be fitted with different types of extruder heads and allows researcher to try out different biomaterials such as gelatine, alginate, chitosan, keratin with different extrusion methods. They are currently offering a limited number of development kits and can be pre ordered now!
